Chapter Eighty-Nine: Inquiring
Since they hadn't descended the mountain for a long time, they walked around the town for a while. She also took them to the shops or stalls of people she knew before to say hello and chatted for a while.
She first went to the grain store to take a look around, talked to Brother Afu for a while, and by the way, let Uncle Fu and them get to know each other. Knowing more people, if something happens in the future, it can be regarded as a road.
After that, they went to the infirmary, and when they arrived, there was no one in the infirmary, so as soon as they arrived, they chatted with Dr. Shi and Aconite for a while. They hadn't seen each other for a long time, so they talked for a long time.
Finally they went to buy chicks, and although they were a little late, there were still a few of them. But there aren't many chickens left for everyone, and none of them are very big.
In the end, they talked about the price, and the cubs who had just been born for a few days bought 40 pieces of Wuwen, and the older cubs bought 25 pieces of 10 Wen. A total of 65 chickens were bought, exceeding the expected fifteen.
But it doesn't matter, because she can't be sure that every single one of the small chickens will survive, and there will definitely be some losses in the middle. In fact, there is not much more, and even if all of them survive and grow up, there will not be much, and there will be many family members anyway.
Because they bought a lot, the person who buried the chickens gave them two chicken coops, the big one and the small one. This time, it cost nearly half a tael of silver just to buy the chicken.
After buying the chickens, they went back, and they had already bought everything they wanted to buy. In addition, the chicken coop is too small, and the chickens are too crowded and crowded, and they are afraid that if they delay any longer, the chicks will die, so they will go back after buying them.
The first thing I did when I got back to the hill was to get those chicks out of the coop. She found three old baskets from the storeroom of the house and used them to hold the chickens.
The little ones are still too young, and even though it's summer, the nights in the mountains are still a little cool. The basket is used to move the chicks inside and move them to the room at night, and there are some small animals in the mountains now, and she is afraid that the chicks will be captured.
Now during the day, they are temporarily placed in an empty room in the backyard, and the little ones are a little unfamiliar with the environment when they first arrive. After they get acquainted with it, they can release them and swim around the yard.
After placing all the chickens, she said to Chunyue: "Chunyue, these chicks will be handed over to you in the future, you have to take good care of them." ”
Later, she thought about it again and said, "If you raise all these little chicks well, I will give your family a monthly silver when you make money in the future." As for how much to send, I'll discuss it with Childe and tell you when the time comes. ”
When Chunyue heard this, she said, "Girl, I know, even if I don't say this, I will take good care of them." And these are all things I should do, I know who I am, and the girl is the benefactor of our family, I am grateful that we can live like this. ”
"So, girl, you don't have to do that." Chunyue said to her sincerely.
She knew that Chunyue might have misunderstood what she meant, but she thought about it and didn't explain, so let her misunderstand it like this. But when she left, she still said, "That's what I should do." ”
Li Bokang didn't come back tonight, she didn't worry too much, they had already walked this road many times. In addition, the security in the county has always been very good, so she thinks that they may have been stumped by something temporary, or something is a little troublesome and time-consuming, so she didn't worry too much about them.
Indeed, Li Bokang: They are very good and safe now, and they are living in the county house tonight. It's true that they're in the county today because things are a bit of a brow, but it will take some time for them to stay in the county.
They first went to the county school today to find Chen Jun and Zhou Yi, and asked them about the oven. But because they are all sons and brothers, they don't know about these little things, so they said that they would tell her tomorrow after they went back and asked.
However, they were all a little curious, because there was no result yet, so he sent them away without saying a word. Zhou Yi and the others also believed it, and didn't chase after them to ask anything else.
After that, they discussed their knowledge together for a while before parting. After parting, he took Shumo to the Ya store where they had gone last time, and asked him if the field they had shown them last time had any results.
Originally, he didn't have much hope because of the short time, mainly because he had a lot of requirements. There can't be too much land, too much money to buy, and now the family's money is also given at the beginning of the year because he was given by those people.
At that time, a total of several hundred taels of silver were collected, and these were still total, and he did not dare to accept more. During this time, the total amount of zero and zero has also spent more than 100 taels, which is several times more than before.
And in addition to not too much, it can't be too little, he wants to buy about fifty acres, and he also wants to connect them. So it's still a little hard to find for the time being, so he asked the tooth shop to help him keep an eye on it.
It's not been a few days since he last went, so he didn't have much hope, just thinking that since he came, he would ask.
But this time he did miscalculate, when they arrived at the tooth shop, the tooth people in the tooth shop were very happy to see him coming. Then he told him the good news and said to him: "Master Li, you are here, I just received an order for the field you asked me to show you last time, which is similar to your request." Let me tell you, what do you hear? ”
Li Bokang really didn't expect the news to come so soon, so he said, "Okay, then you can tell me about it." ”
"That's right, this time this family has a total of sixty acres of land, ten acres more than you asked. But now he is in a hurry to sell, and the grain in the field is also sold, but the price is a little higher than usual, one or two taels more per acre. ”
"But the grain in the field is very good, and the harvest will not be less. Mr. Li, how about this, let's go take a look if we can? The ground is not particularly far away, and it will take about an hour to ride in a carriage. As she spoke, she looked at him, waiting for his answer.
Li Bokang thought about it in his heart after hearing this, sixty acres of land would cost nearly eight hundred taels of silver if calculated at thirteen taels per mu. It's a bit unbearable for them in their current situation, but it's not easy to have such a suitable fit.
So he was going to take a look, anyway, there was nothing going on today, and he had to wait until tomorrow to get the results of other things.
So he said to the tooth man, "Okay, I'll go with you in a moment, but if you go now, can you get back before dark?" "He still has some concerns.
"If nothing else, I can." The tooth man also said seriously, and he couldn't guarantee for sure that he could say yes, so he couldn't say anything unexpected and could reply.
In this case, if you don't come back on time, you won't be responsible, after all, no one knows what hasn't happened yet. No one knows what's going to happen in the next second, so no one can say for sure what will happen in the future.
